hmm, how’s your guys’ xpeditions’ kick-stands ?? mine is trying to jump off the bike, i tighten it every single ride and it loosens every time… rattling and swinging (almost into the rear wheel)

[@djhogan6105]

rather low-tier compared to your last two maintenance video, though

[@howdyjim]

Disc brakes.

[@jeffboatright]

Thanks for producing and uploading this video. It was very useful as I've just unboxed a 750 last night and rode it today.

[@EbikeEscape]

Glad to help!

[@Tha1NOnly1]

This video came in just in time. I am noticing some issues with shifting like noises and skipping. This was exactly what I need. Thank you so much for making this video.

[@robertturner2916]

Just subscribed. Excellent video with enough detail to be very informative for a newbie (like me) but not super complicated. Well done!

[@EbikeEscape]

Awesome, thank you!

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

I had to do all that when I got my bike shipped. I think 2 hours to go through and figure out all the screw and cable adjustments and what each thing did. 😂✌

[@howdyjim]

Thanks for the work! Just what I needed to get my new ltrc xpress working correctly. Purchase made using some of your review points.

[@jacobschwartz6721]

So I have the xp trike with Hydraulic Brakes how often should I get them maintained

[@StaticJolts]

video on how to tighten the chain would be nice...on my 1st ride, the chain came off when I hit a bump. I think If I can just increase its tension a tiny bit, the chain will stay on better

[@ronaldhoppus9015]

Good stuff here. Is there any benifit to upgrading the derailleur on this bike? Thanks

[@EbikeEscape]

Probably not unless the old one needs to be replaced

[@catspaw3815]

Thanks guys!

[@saimoniq.rtuinamata8761]

Whilst paddling everything is fine and after a while the chain doesn't follow the lower jockey wheel properly. What could be the solution?

[@dmurphine]

It doesn't seem that expensive or complicated to upgrade the derailleur from a bottom basement model to something a little more robust and precise. What do you think about making these kinds of changes? Worth it or unnecessary?

[@MooneShadow]

Fantastic video thank you!

[@charleshunt3806]

Think you

[@jeremypayne9468]

When I stop pedaling, the chain goes loose and then tightens. Eventually, it falls off. Can you help?

[@word2212]

My hey bike ranger every time i pedal forward it will squeak and when i back pedal it seems to get stuck and jump

[@terrynelson2385]

The music is distracting.

[@jaydowwg8150]

My e bike will not go into 6 and 7th gear :(. Is this why ?

[@sherrylynn7771]

Mine is doing the same thing

[@gkmackey]

Heads up. Lectric Xpremium chain replacement requires buying 2 chains due to 126 link requirement which nobody sells so the second chain has to be cannibalized for 10 links. This fact doubles the cost of the replacement. Horrible engineering and I am disgusted! Way to go Lectric.

[@howdyjim]

I've found the xpress post OD is 31.8 Guess what, noone sells that or a shim for 31.6-31.8 31.6 is the closest available that's not too big. Have to make shim from pop can...

[@walkaboutjoe6268]

I'm having a hard time listening to this with all of the "ah's and umms" between points. No doubt full of information though.

[@Icriedtoday]

The smallest gear is the "hardest" gear? Umm, no. No, that's not right. My own experience. and that of everyone else, is that the smaller gears are easier and the larger gears are harder. This concerns me about the whole video.

[@mindylen]

umm i think you’re referring to the numbers on your shifter. 1 being the easiest and depending on how many gears you have, the upper numbers being the hardest. That is correct. But. The video however is referring to the cogs. And ummm yes.. the smallest cog is the hardest and the larger cog being the easiest. It always has been this way, and always will be. Confusing to some. obviously. So you should no longer be concerned about the whole video.
